The Week

Goodness we are all going in different directions this week--last night Francisco took his mom to a concert in another city, Q's best friend's mom (who is not only parenting and working, but also a student!) kindly drove him to basketball, and Blaze and I went to my favorite thing--we were invited to dinner at a fraternity. Blaze played with the other kids there, and I visited with students. I'm so grateful to get to know them better--and to receive their hospitality. Oh and we got to enjoy the unseasonable weather by eating and visiting outside. 

While Blaze and I were walking home (1 car life), we ran into another student out for a walk. He walked us home, and we got to talk a lot more than we do in class--he told me about his MS diagnosis, which came up because he is currently delayed in accessing a medicine he needs. I was so impressed by my student--and learned from him just during a 20-minute walk. I'm grateful for small town, small school life. 



I also did EMDR yesterday--grateful for that, too. And for beginning to feel feelings (beyond rage) again (even though it's scary as all get out).
